Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

Happy Halloween, aka National Put a Hat on a Ferret Day!
Panel 1 of a four-panel minicomic. A hand holds a ferret, while another hand holds a tiny witch hat. The witch hat is put on the ferret's head. The ferret grabs the hat. The ferret throws the hat.

New billboard in town 👀
Billboard reads: "There will never be a bell loud enough, a helmet strong enough, or clothing bright enough to make up for poor infrastructure. Join us in fighting for safer streets. Vision Zero Vancouver and Rovelo Creative." Beside the text, a picture of a child riding a bike in a painted bike lane.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

me: trying to finish up some documentation on a thursday afternoon
jira: unexpectedly flirty in the admin panel
a snippet of a screenshot from jira’s admin panel, which says “Grant the power of releases” as a title and then “You can give users in a project the permission” (which is clearly cut off from an ongoing sentence) the text is black on a light purple background, and there’s a small icon that looks like a sheet of purple paper with the bottom right corner folded inwards

Disney:
Screencaps from Arrested Development photoshopped by me to read: Panel 1: "If you're saying I play favourites, you're wrong. I love all my [IPs] equally" Panel 2: (earlier that day...) "I don't care for [The Muppets]"

i'm not explaining this
a meme on white background with black text. a picture of Joanna Newsom in a bluish/purple dress with her arms in the air and billowy sleeves. at 12 o'clock the text reads "ponder a Joanna Newsome lyric about love and/or time" and a curved arrow points to text at the 3 o'clock position that says "girl, what", and another curved arrow to 6 o'clock and a text block that says "actually no, she's completely right" and then a curved arrow to the 9 o'clock position that says "remember it's most likely about Andy Samberg" and then a curved arrow to the 12 o'clock position, completing the circle

saw the sf6 trailer for third costumes, now wondering who decided m.bison needed to look like he stepped out of a joe gage movie
a street fighter 6 frame grab of m. bison’s win post with cropped white hair, an open black shearling coat with no shirt underneath and black chaps over pants with his right fist held up and emanating energy. he has facial and chest scars that are glowing with the same energy.

This image of a seal pup is the oxford english definition of sneep snorp
A pale white seal pup lies sleeping on a patch of green grass. Its body has creamy white fur and flipper-like limbs. The creature appears peaceful and content.

Three years ago today I posted this photo to Twitter and shit went bananas. Happy Cow Tools Guy Day to all who celebrate.

It's me. I'm all who celebrate.
A man in a spotted cow pattern shirt stands in front of a table. On the table are four primitive looking tools. It is a real-life tribute to the Gary Larsen Far Side "Cow Tools" cartoon.

as a text-based creature in an increasingly video-first world I'd like to be cherished as a sort of charismatic but doomed animal, to be fed treats in my enclosure until I meet my inevitable demise, after which my taxidermied corpse might greet visitors in a lobby somewhere

realized i posted this in the work slack and the friend slack but not really anywhere else. behold: chicago mix layer cake
a cross section photo of a layer cake on a wire rack. the frosting is brown with flaky salt crystals scattered on it, and the caption “salted caramel frosting,” the first cake layer is a pale beige, the filling is a bright orange pudding with the caption “cheddar cheese pastry cream” and the lower cake layer is also beige with the caption “popcorn cake (ground popcorn and freeze dried corn in here)”

This very good CBC story on rally crowd sizes (shorturl.at/RMBL2) includes this image of Winnipeg's NHL arena, the Canada Life Centre, which has a capacity of just over 15,000 ppl.

It can also help visualize the loss from the toxic drug crisis: More than 16,500 ppl in BC alone have died since 2016
